and Complete Compilation of the Land Laws Together with the Opinions of the
Supreme Court (1845. Reprint. Austin: Gammel-Statesman Publishing Co.,
1904), pp. 473-486; Minutes of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Texas from
January Term 1841, Texas State Archives, Austin; Gammel, comp., The Laws of
Texas 1822-1897, vol. 2, pp. 683-684; Election Returns, Secretary of State
Papers (RG 307), Texas State Archives, Austin; Colorado County Deed Records,
Book D, p. 332, Book E, pp. 48-51. The case was styled Stockton v. Montgomery
when it was considered by the supreme court. Curiously, though the report of the
case specifies that it was appealed from Colorado County, no mention of the case
occurs in the Colorado County district court records, nor does any cause file
seem to be extant.
